I really think the music sub-forum would be better and more visited if it had it's own spot possibly under miscellaneous. I mean, currently it's a sub-forum in the Audio forum, which has seen way less interest than the music sub-forum. I just feel it would get a lot more exposure if it was more out front.

I agree. I don't like where it is either. Might as well not be there at all since it gets so little traffic there.

Amen. x3.

I'd say get rid of it completely. Let the content sink back into Unrelated. Feels much more 'organic' there.

I am all for putting most of the unrelated spin-offs back into Unrelated.

me too, although I really like music having it's own. Many of the members here are avid music listeners and it's nice to have all music related threads all in the same place.

Does a subforum of Unrelated sounds like a better location?

The point behind me wanting the music sub-forum to be moved, is that it would get more traffic if it was it's own forum, not sub-forum. I think it would work well under the miscellaneous category.

It would get more traffic either way. Just move it away from the audioforum. And merge audio with display into a new forum called Audio/Video.

I like this idea. The music sub need to be it own forum all together. Why this wasn't done earlier puzzles me. It's a very important part of my life and I'm sure many other member's as well.

handheld systems should be renamed to neogeo pocket and only have ngp discussions.

arcade central should be relocated to gaming.

next gen consoles should be removed.

all about shooters should be merged with arcade central or consoles.

online gaming should be moved to non neo gaming. (should really just get merged with consoles.)

all of ht should be merged to one forum and moved to misc., except music.

merge gaming and kof into general discussion.


make a new section, non neo gaming, comprised of forums:
consoles
handhelds
arcades
online


misc. will then comprise of:
music
home theater
unrelated

not a horrible idea, but I doubt that the mods will want to go through all that work

I agree with not sonic on merging forums. Too many leads to little posting. I surely don't visit most of the forums and probably miss out on a lot of stuff. A little bit of condensing wouldn't hurt.

I think they're fine as is.

If anything, I'd break down the gaming forums down via generations.

8 and 16bit..classic gaming
Neo
PS/Saturn/3DO/N64..etc... era
GC/PS2/DC/XBOX era
Next Gen
HandHelds

I was actually about to make a suggestion for the Audio / Music forum a while back, but never really bothered. As others have mentioned, it doesn't seem to attract much attention where it is.

As long as I'm here, I think the Audio forum could use sub-forums for Portable Audio, and Home Audio. :)
